Portrait of an Old Man

Giulio Campi

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a portrait of an old man. The man has a balding head with a thinning patch of short gray hair on top and a gray beard and mustache. He is wearing a black robe with a wide, dark gray sash draped over his right shoulder. Underneath, he has a black shirt and a white collared shirt. His right hand holds a stack of papers in front of him, while his left hand rests on his lap with a ring on one finger. The man looks to his right. The background is dark green with folds and creases suggesting fabric.
